By choosing to attend medical school, you have already answered in the affirmative. But the secret lies in asking what degree of sacrifice you are making. While your friends love spending time with you, if lack of sleep is actually infringing on your future quality of life (be it success on the USMLE, competence at work, etc) then maybe there should be a few less hands of gin rummy every once in a while in favor of an extra hour of sleep. But if your lack of sleep is causing tiredness only and no current or future impairment, then the question is: is it a bigger sacrifice to sleep instead of being with friends or to be with friends instead of sleeping? Choose accordingly. And know that whatever time you can give your friends, they will be glad to have you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411997.post-1155309596089504152006-08-11T11:19:00.000-04:002006-08-11T11:19:00.000-04:00You can spend your whole life second guessing your...You can spend your whole life second guessing yourself but that would be a heck of a waste of time.
